Next on: 19 March 2010, from 9pm
Venue: Colossus Cafe & Bar, Open Space, Asia City
You are invited to the inaugural Green Drinks Kota KInabalu - which aims to be the first of many monthly gathering for anyone interested in exchanging ideas and hearing different perspectives about the social and environmental challenges we face.
This month we'll have a look at the theme: "Sabah, a wildlife trade centre - are we emptying our forests and seas of plants and animals?"
...with a special guest, Noorainie Awang Anak from TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network ... who will give us an overview of the scope of international wildlife trade in Sabah... and plans afoot to meet these challenges.
Hope you can make it... and please pass this on to those who you think might be interested... many thanks.
